Gua Sha massage is a traditional Chinese technique that involves using a special tool (usually made of stone or horn) to rub or scratch the skin. This massage stimulates blood circulation, activates metabolism, and helps the body recover.
Principle of action: Gua Sha massage is based on the principles of Chinese medicine, including the theory of "qi" (vital energy) and "yin-yang" (balance of opposing forces). Using a special tool, which usually has smooth edges, the therapist makes movements on the skin, creating micro-scratches. This stimulates blood circulation, improves lymph flow, helps remove toxins, and reduces inflammation.
